# Instructions 

# Steak Tacos

1. Thinly slice the flank steak into ¼-inch strips, cutting against the grain for maximum tenderness. Place the strips in a mixing bowl and add chipotle peppers in adobo (along with the adobo sauce), lime juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, baking soda, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the steak evenly, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for deeper flavor.

2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated flank steak in a single, even layer—being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (Work in batches if needed.) Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, until it’s caramelized on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness. Transfer the steak to a plate and set aside.

# Avocado Tomatillo Salsa

1. Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃) Dice the tomatillos, white onion, and jalapeños into 1-inch chunks, and peel the garlic cloves. Spread everything in a single layer on a baking sheet, then drizzle with avocado oil. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are lightly charred and softened.

2. In a food processor, combine the roasted vegetables with avocado, lime juice, cilantro, salt and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

# Assemble the Steak Tacos

1. Layer the warm tortillas with flank steak, avocado tomatillo salsa and chopped white onions. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for garnish. Serve immediately.
